There are so many sequels in games today, the recent releases usually consist of so-and-so 2, or thingy 4, and so forth - but which of these spawns of the original games do you think rocks more than the others out there?
I'd have to say GTA Vice City (without sounding like a fanboy), as it's thrown the GTA series from its birds-eye-view pixelated layout, to a beautifully rendered 3D world.
Other series's I think have improved since the originals include Age of Empires 2, it's just the best strategy game ever, if you disagree with me you are wrong.
However other series's seem to get worse as they go along. The Fifa series peaked with Fifa 99', a gem of a game, but the more recent Fifa titles lick balls - off the ball control? What!?
So, what sequels are good and which ones drink man mayonaise?

All Resident Evil games are good sequels.
The continually high standard of those in the Zelda franchise stand out as some of the best sequels and games of all time.
Metroid Prime is a superb next-gen adaptation, and TimeSplitters 2 was an outstanding improvement on the original.

I think Half Life had the brilliant sequal, Opposing Force, a very well thought out sequal in my oppinion, which really did show you what the experience was like through another pair of eyes. They then continued this by making Blue Shift, a fine and excellent game, but probably not as good as the first two, but that is only because they were the originals as it were. All fantstic generally though. :-)

Jak 2:Renegade is a good sequel as it totaly changed the gameplay compared to the original making it a very refreshing addition to the platform genre
Gran Turismo 2, 3 and probably 4
